Manipulating Fe(II) spin states to achieve higher anti-tumor cell activities in multinuclear complexes.

Exploring the different spin states of central metals in the complex to regulate the anti-tumor activity of cancer cells is of great significance in drug design and clinical use. However, it is a challenge to build a strong coupling between spin states and anti-tumor activities in one system. Herein, we present two complexes {FeL[Pd(CN)]}·2HO (L = Bztpen (1), Bztppn (2); Bztpen = -benzyl-,','-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine, Bztppn = -benzyl-,','-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)propylenediamine) showing different cytotoxic activities actuated by fine-tuning the structure with different spin states of Fe(II).

Effects of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia on anxiety, labor analgesia and motor blocks in women during natural delivery.

Background: The background of this study was analgesia in natural delivery. The combined spinal-epidural anesthesia has obvious analgesic effect on the parturients in natural labor, and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia has been widely used in anesthesia for various diseases.

Aim: To study the effects of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia on anxiety, labor analgesia, and motor blocks in parturients during natural delivery.

Neurobrucellosis.

Purpose: Neurobrucellosis (NB) is a rare complication of brucellosis. NB presents with avariety of clinical manifestations, and the symptoms are always atypical. Our aim was to analyze the demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, imaging findings, treatments and outcomes of patients with NB.

[Sewage sludge conditioning by bioleaching combined with Fenton-like oxidation].

Bioleaching combined with Fenton-like oxidation was used to condition sewage sludge. The results showed that it took approximately 1 d to decrease pH from 6.9 to 2.

[Treatment of Bell's palsy with combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine].

Objective: To evaluation the clinical effect of combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine on Bell's palsy.

Methods: 83 patients with Bell's palsy were randomly divided into two groups (trail group 54 cases and control group 29 cases). Patients in two groups were treated with medicine, acupuncture, physiotherapy, while patients in the trail group were treated with massage and functional exercise as the same time.
